Description
Many students hold misconceptions about evaporation. In this short exercise, students will apply the kinetic molecular theory to explain how cold water can evaporate and to observe the cooling effect of evaporation, and develop their own evaporation experiments.
Ideas For Use
Some examples of student experiments include putting water in a dark place to see if it evaporates, measuring the temperature of water as it evaporates, and even placing a small, uncovered container of water in the refrigerator to see if evaporation occurs in a dark, cold place.
